Campus Transportation Open House on October 4 in the Campus Center Ballroom

All University students, staff, faculty, and community stakeholders are invited to an open house about developing campus transportation options on Tuesday, October 4, at 4 p.m. in the Campus Center Ballroom.

At the open house, results of an online campus-wide transportation survey conducted in April 2011 will be presented. Commuters were asked how they get around, where they come from, where they go, problems they encounter, and suggestions of how to make their commute easier. The survey conclusions provide insights on current travel behavior and commuting patterns of University students, staff, and faculty.

Attendees to the open house will be asked for their response to these results, as well as input on initial strategies under consideration for UH Mānoa. Because public feedback is critical to creating an effective plan, attendance will help ensure that appropriate programs and policies are explored.

The report of “existing conditions” is being presented by nationally recognized transportation planning specialists, Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, who are assisting UH Mānoa in developing a comprehensive transportation demand management plan for the campus. Nelson\Nygaard also assisted UH Mānoa with the development and implementation of the survey.
